Answer:

There are 96 large tents and 60 small tents

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the number of tents of each sizes there

Let the number of 6-boys tent be s and the number of 4-boys tent be f

6s + 4f = 816 ••••••(i)

Ratio of large to small ( ratio of s to f)

8:5 = s/f

8/5 = s/f

8f = 5s

f = 5s/8 ••••(ii)

Substitute ii into i

6s + 4(5s/8) = 816

6s + 5s/2 = 816

Multiply through by 2

12s + 5s = 1,632

17s = 1632

s = 1632/17

s = 96

f = 5s/8

f = (5 * 96)/8 = 60

How many 10-digit ternary strings are there that contain exactly two 0s, three 1s, and five 2s?
Svet_ta [14]

There are \dbinom{10}2 ways of picking 2 of the 10 available positions for a 0. 8 positions remain.

There are \dbinom83 ways of picking 3 of the 8 available positions for a 1. 5 positions remain, but we're filling all of them with 2s, and there's \dbinom55=1 way of doing that.

So we have

\dbinom{10}2\dbinom83\dbinom55=\dfrac{10!}{2!(10-2)!}\dfrac{8!}{3!(8-3)!}\dfrac{5!}{5!(5-5)!}=2520

The last expression has a more compact form in terms of the so-called multinomial coefficient,

\dbinom{10}{2,3,5}=\dfrac{10!}{2!3!5!}=2520

Can someone help me with this question
Mashcka [7]
The correct answer here would be D. -1(3x+1)(x+5). You can find this answer by redistributing the problem.

-1(3x+1)(x+5)
-1(3x²+15x+1x+5)
-1(3x²+16x+5)
-3x²-16x-5

Using the math above, we can see that when we redistribute we get the original equation. That makes Choice D correct.
